Acetal (POM) properties at a glance
Acetal (POM, polyoxymethylene, also known as polyacetal) is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic material, which is characterized by good mechanical properties, high dimensional stability and excellent sliding and wear behavior. Due to their properties, Acetal plastics are used as design materials in a wide range of applications with demanding operating conditions. Sustarin® is subdivided into Acetal Homopolymer (POM-H) and Acetal Copolymer (POM-C). Acetal Copolymer has better chemical resistance, while Acetal Homopolymer features slightly higher strength.
